Sunday was full of non-poker stuff, but I eventually made it to my room at the Showboat. Tomorrow morning starts the Deepstack Borgata Poker Open event with a great structure, and I’m hoping to get to the gym before I get over to the Borg at 11. That being said, the plan was to be [...]
Just a quick update. I got to the Borg Saturday morning and played an hour of 2/5 waiting for the HOSE game to start. It went fine and I uneventfully won 52 dollars. I played the HOSE for quite a while, and had a wonderful time. I accomplished exactly what I set out to do…to [...]
For some reason, it seems like I keep playing eerily similar pots over and over again. I’m not complaining though. After my nap, I head down to the poker room feeling refreshed. I get seated at 2/5 and buy in for my standard $400 (I think I’m going to start buying in full soon, but [...]

The first casino I ever played in, and a cardroom I still maintain a somewhat irrational affection for…the [...]
As promised, the $4/8 stud hi-lo game did get going at the Borgata Saturday afternoon and it was a blast. We were 8 handed for awhile, and played 4 handed for a decently long time, both of which were great fun (This game is sick fun to play short handed). It was the most fun [...]
